STAGE 2 START!
Edel had gotten a little distracted by some things and nearly missed the second chain on her way down the zip line. That was also the case for the third segment of the obstacle course, the ghoul wasn't having a great time with her judgement and timing this time round.
No matter, she thought to herself, trying to re-concentrate as she cleared the next two obstacles. Once again, three walls stood between her and the finish line.
She could knew it from the moment her arms felt an enormous strain – this was going all wrong. Edel hadn't put enough back into it, and soon the 50 pound wall came crashing down (and narrowly missing her fingers). Had she forgotten it already? Desu-chan's technique.
The ghoul paused to recall how the Master would flip those tables, but that didn't seem to work; try as the frost demon may, the wall just would give in.
The two and a half minute timer sounded, marking the end of her run. Oh well! She would take a short break and try to get back into the motion of it by her second run.
((fail))

STAGE 1 GO!
Terror Warrior? Jack yeah! Jove was going to give it a try. He might have been small, and fluffy, but he had made it to second year. And then he had made it onto the bruteball team. He even got his ear pierced! And an obstacle course didn't sound too bad, he was pretty light on his feet with all the running he did.
But when he actually got up to face the course, he realized it would be a bit more difficult than it sounded...
The pup almost lost his nerve on the first obstacle, slowing down and having a tough time making it from platform to platform. He almost slid right off the third one! But a bit of awkward flailing had him back on track, and ready to... do... something. He stared at the log for a quick second before hopping on, but that time was made up easily as he was rocketed off the log at the end of the obstacle. Jumping with walls, check. Avoiding stupid blades, check. Climbing the worst wall in history, that got a check too. Compared to all that, the tarzan rope was a piece of cake.
The pup arrived successfully at the end of the course, still a bit dizzy from the stupid log, but puffed up proudly nonetheless.

STAGE 1 GO!
Colette looked at the obstacle course and couldn't help but wonder who the heck thought of such things. It was supposed to be fun apparently, or something. It wasn't exactly what she pictured herself doing for the heck of it. However, the fact it was a sort of test of yourself kept her there.
"Well here goes nothing."
The Reaper managed enough momentum to jump and make it past the first part, and she refused to let go of the log and clung like a mad spectropus until it was safe. The Jumping Skitter proved annoying, but she somehow completed it and even passed the Blades of Death too. Colette didn't know how she was able to climb that giant wall either, but it was behind her now and she was feeling pretty good. Regardless, the Tarzan Rope halted her for a moment. She had never swung though the air on anything, and it was honestly very intimidating, but she was not going to give up now. Luckily, her bravery was awarded with a successful attempt.
She did it! Sure, it was only the first stage, but she completed it. Colette felt great and was eager to go farther. What else could she do?

STAGE 1 GO!
Two energizer drinks and a little cooling down later, Edel was back at the starting line. She had been performing a little worse today compared to her first shot at this the day before – surely, surely she had it in her to clear this obstacle course?
Or maybe the unwarranted pressure to do better was getting to her – she had just managed to squeak past the Jumping Skitter obstacle, nearly tripping up and falling down into the water below. She shook her head and carried on to the next three obstacles, clearing them with a fair amount of ease. She was getting used to the techniques needed to clear Stage 1 already, now all she had to do was get past the more strength demanding components in Stage 2.
Pressing the button and sounding off the buzzer to signal her clearance in Stage 1, Edel scooted off to the next set of obstacles.

STAGE 2 START!
She had hit the water before she knew it. Really, what are you thinking she reprimanded herself as she swam across the pool towards the side. Hoisting herself out of the water, Edel walked about to dry off and think through her recent attempt.
Clearly, she hadn't been paying attention as she nearly missed the second chain (again!) on the first obstacle and practically let herself slide all the way into the water in the third.
The frost demon couldn't phantom what she could have been so distracted by. Tough luck perhaps? Or maybe she was just over-thinking things. Well, she could make one more attempt today, perhaps she should chill out a little and then go for it.
Edel sighed and walked around a little bit more to calm the rest of herself down. The next time, for sure....

STAGE 2 START!
The pup was still puffed up from his first success as he approached the second round, and threw himself right into the first obstacle. These really were designed for human form only, he thought, easily swinging from one chain to the other. He couldn't do an of these obstacles without opposable thumbs. Besides. His natural form had many uses other than being terrifying...
In spite of his lack of upper body strength, Jove was quick to traverse the salmon ladder. It had to be due to his ghostly lack of weight and sheer amount of wiggling. The slider drop surprisingly posed a bit more of a threat. He lost his grip as he approached the platform and had to scramble awkwardly onto it. Finally the skitter walk and metal spin were slipped through...
And then he found himself with a huge problem.
There were three walls. He struggled through the first one, barely squeezed under the second, and then paused to scowl at the third as though it would move on it's own accord. How in Jack's name was he supposed to lift that thing? Jove tried to lift it once, got a better grip and tried to lift it a second time, and wedged himself under it on his hands and knees to brace it with his back. One quick move and... most of him was on the other side.
He gave a loud yelp and tugged his tail free, leaving a large tuft of ghostly fluff to dissolve into nothingness under the wall. Jove cleared the stage.

STAGE 1 GO!
Round three!
No pressure she told herself, and the frost demon bolted through the first four obstacles as she heard the buzzer go off. The warped wall as a little bit of a stretch, but she eventually made it through, albeit a little dizzy at the end.
Edel gripped the side railings to take a little breather. To be honest, this much of a workout was a little too much for our usually sedentary ghoul to handle. She had practically been powered on the adrenaline in the latest rush. But she wasn't ready to call it quits yet – on to Stage 2 here we go!

STAGE 2 START!
It was Magic. A miracle. Unreal.
Edel sailed through Stage 2, invoking the power of Desu-chan some sort of hidden energy rush in her and cleared the second stage just like that.
She stood at the finish line, melting. It was......getting really hot .... this workout ....

STAGE 3 BEGIN!
In case you didn't already know, when ice melts it becomes water. Water, by the way, serves as a great lubricant.
Those with sweaty palms would find the Rumbling Dice – which depended on both strength and grip – to be a challenge. Most of them would have the sense of powder her palms to increase their grip with more friction.
But Edel, not thinking straight and hands soaked in meltwater, just -slipped- through the bars of the rumbling dice and splashed into the water below. The ghoul was exhausted, and the water felt cooling, so the frost demon simply let herself drift off to the side of the pool. She would be doing lots of hydrating after this ordeal.

STAGE 3 BEGIN!
After a couple minutes spent nursing his poor, de-fluffed tail, Jove was ready to begin stage three. He now had a score to settle with this course. There was no way he was going to let it best him, AND take a good chunk of fluff off his tail in the process! He scowled, determined not to let the course add insult to his injury.
He almost lost his cool on the first obstacle, it was much harder than it looked. He didn't have quite enough weight to make the box rotate without putting extra effort into it, and then he had to be careful not to lose his grip every time it banged onto a new side. But finally he made it across.
The devil steps were easier, he was able to climb up and down with only a little effort. He moved onto the jumping bars, which were again passed without too much issue. Jove was quite confident in his physical co-ordination, things like jumping off objects and grabbing onto other objects mid air didn't phase him. The arm bike earned a weird look though, before he scooted quite handily across the cliff hanger. And finally the gliding ring.
Jove landed and immediately puffed up once again. He was a terror warrior! His tail, having regrown it's fluff sometime during the last stage, curled up and over itself, giving a happy wag before he darted off to find someone to boast to.

STAGE 2 START!
Stage two! Despite the eager feeling she got from completing one, Colette felt nervous again. It was another obstacle where you needed to swing through the air.
Well, she has passed the Tarzan Rope. This couldn't hurt either, right? Grabbing on, Colette commenced her stage two and made it with flying red-and-black colors past the Chain Reaction! The salmon ladder proved defeat-able, and the slider drop made Colette more familiar with moving through the air.
The Skitter Walk? Couldn't stop her.
Metal Spin? Not a problem. Swinging around in the air actually felt pretty darn nice now. Yes, Colette wished she had wings for a moment.
And finally the Wall Lift. How did a 17 year old Reaper ghoul manage to lift the final 110 lb wall? I don't know. You don't know. It was magic, and Colette was clear on her way to stage 3.

STAGE 1 GO! ((Attempt 1 of the day~ ))
Shehk had decided to have-at the Terror Warrior again. It had made a fool of her previously, but it seemed that her last round of running that she'd done the day before had at least prepared her to rock that first course pretty damn well. Even if it still did leave her a little dizzy and her arms a little sore. She was going to do this every day, dammit.
Whether she passed or not, she would do this every day. She wasn't going to leave herself behind in preparation.
Success!

STAGE 2 START! (( First attempt of the day... ))
Sometimes Shehk had to wonder if failing at something put her into hyperdrive to have at it again. The previous time she'd gotten to this course, she'd failed it almost as miserably as her first attempt at the ...actual first challenge. Yeah, that had been pretty disasterous, sadly. But she was gonna rock it, right?
She had at least figured out how to move from the one chain to the other without killing herself. That much she was grateful for. She'd also figured out how to time that stupid bar-lift-thing. That made her arms sore as all hell. She was gonna need a day off at the end of the week with how much of a work out this thing was. Frankly experiencing it herself told her first hand that it was going to hopefully be awesome for everybody else attempting it.
It had to be awesome, right?
Well, most of the challenges had been just that as she progressed. It was only when she got to the last one she seemed to make a face of 'you've got to be kidding me' about the whole mess. She was a flimsy little thing! She was supposed to lift stuff?? However, a promise was a promise. And she'd made her promises unconditionally so she had to be good on them. Which required shifting stuff and trying to not smash her fingers on walls.
Never the less, Shehk made it through with great gusto.
Ha!
Ha!!
Success!

STAGE 3 BEGIN! ((First attempt of the day. ))
The third course. Awww yeah. Shehk had made it there and it was barely the start of the day. She'd have to do it again later! Just to keep it all brushed up. Though first she had to get through this course. Which she could live with. She was pretty energetic so far that day.
Naturally the first thing to come was for her to use her arms. Jackdammit! She better have had some upper body strength after this rut! She really better have!! Or she was going to be angry. And do the entire run. Over. and Over. and Over. and Over again. Until she had the ability to do a ********' pull up. Yeah.
That intense man.
However, the rolling didn't seem to be a problem. The... stairs...seemed to be something completely different, however, and Shehk found that it really burned to scale down the second set of them only using her arms. Good god, they really made her arms burned. She loved it. The whole fitness club better have attempted things or she might have flipped them out a window. With her new buff arms.
Yeah.
Okay, this was definitely upper body strength stuff going on, almost obnoxiously so, as she got to the four bars to swing from..then the stupid cycling episode. Yeesh. She didn't want to hold her arms above her head for long periods of time ever again..but at least she knew she could hold onto something for dear life if she had to. Funny how she was equating everything to real life.
The Cliff Hanger solidified that thought to her. She definitely was going to be able to hold on for dear life.
The final challenge almost seemed to be so nice to her. All she had to do was stay on, and get off. Well..yes. In that order. Which, despite a little wobbling, happened successfully for the Pricolici, allowing her to stand at the final 'end of course' platform, her hands on her hips.
"THERE!!" she said, grinning widely. "I showed you all how it's done, now get crackin'! You can do it!" she didn't seem to be throwing anybody down for not being able to do it, but rather trying to get them to get there themselves. Ready, go!
Success!

STAGE 1 ATTEMPT 1
Sammy was back, her arms crossed, eyes narrowed, she wasn't wearing a jacket any longer, her hands where taped, her boots abandoned to make her lighter on her feet. She was ashamed. Shehk had completed the course. Shehk, while her best friend, usually never out did her in physical projects. She was happy for her, really! But she was crushed that she just couldn't seem to complete the course. So she geared up, downed some Haterade for that extra boost of FEAR and got up on the first stage again.
When the buzzer rang she ran, bouncing between the the slanted steps of the first obstacle. Bare flesh on the bottom of her feet giving her just a bit more stick compared to soggy boots that had fallen into the pools of water three times already. The rolling log again did nothing to stop her as she thumped her way down. Hitting the ground she moved to bounce up in between the Skitter Wall. She moved, quickly she wanted in and out of that cursed wall gap.
The warped wall? Nothing at all, three running steps a hop and tugging over she booked for the Tarzan ropes. Leaping wildly she grabbed a fistful of ropes swinging towards the end hitting the top with a hiss. She even took a moment to make a rude gesture at the skitter wall.
Screw Skitters; they sucked.
